Reviews

‘Parr’s accessible writing and engaging plot is very much aimed at modern pre-teens. It teeters thrillingly on the edge of scary, and covers serious topics like relationships, bullies, prejudices and religion without sounding preachy’ Bristol Post

‘This appealing book is about losses healed, lies uncovered, cruelty defeated and goodness rewarded’ The Sunday Times
